I read several Twain novels when I was a teen, but I became a fan when I read his social commentary in college.
So many quotations are attributed to Twain that are things he never said nor wrote. I made sure mine were all genuine Twainisms. They can be found with many others, researched by Twain Scholar Barbara Schmidt at: www.twainquotes.com/quotesatoz.html
One of my favorite quotes, not in the image above:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
Daughter of King Michael de Romania and of Queen Annde de Romania.
Born 1949, educated at Edinburgh University, Scotland.
Heir to the Romanian throne.
patron of charities.
official residence; "Palatul Elisabeta", Bucharest.

The title quotation is meant as a humorous play on words. An egg does indeed make a fragile gift. (unless hard boiled, or better still a Faberge egg !)
But it does not really address Janets thought provoking and challenging theme of 'defining beauty'.
So my serious quotation is from the landscape artist John Constable
"I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful." John Constable
Constables quote is a bit of a 'catch all' and I dont claim to have done justice to light shade and perspective.
I was tempted to feature a 'painted lady' butterfly (see my photostream) which most people will regard as beautiful. But decided to remain with the hens egg, even though as Confucius pointed out some will not see it as beautiful.
I think it is. There are eggs with a prettier colour or pattern. But a hens egg still shows a beauty of form, and is one of natures beautiful and practical designs. Wonder and beauty are close kin.
Please zoom in to better see the breathing pores and imperfections.And try not to think of them as ugly

“Life seems sometimes like nothing more than a series of losses, from beginning to end. That's the given. How you respond to those losses, what you make of what's left, that's the part you have to make up as you go.”
― Katharine Weber, The Music Lesson
This is a black and white photograph of the Lighthouse erected on the Northern tip of Skopelos Island, Greece, at Cape Gourouni, viewed from afar. The 46-ft (14-m) high tower is rectangular and made of stone. The lighthouse has got a luminous range of 20 nautical miles; it functioned in 1884 for the first time.
The shot was inspired by the quotation from Virginia Woolf: ❝Lighthouses are endlessly suggestive signifiers of both human isolation and our ultimate connectedness to each other.❞
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

There is more to life than increasing its speed.

Es gibt wichtigere Dinge im Leben,

George Bernard Shaw quotation . It refers to my belief that we can, we must.....believe for a healthy Earth, more highly evolved Earthlings. Expecting the worst never brought good results for me, and I am determined now to believe for good things, expect good things. It's so easy to look around and see with our eyes the Earth getting sicker, the end getting closer. But we are "little pieces of God" (Wayne Dyer) , even as a drop of our blood contains our makeup (DNA). If we call upon our Creator, who loves us and all the Earth, and determine to have faith "as a grain of mustard seed".....we can turn things around! Let's try it. Let's envision a healthy planet, people who care about each other and all living things. Let's speak words of faith and positivity. Let's see the essence of God in a sunset and a tree; be still and feel HIs Presence.
I'm not a churchgoer, but I am a Believer. Who senses the impossible miracle of life, and is very grateful.

Dave had to go blood doning today in Worthing, so I cadged a lift and went for a wander. I had been hoping for a shot for the title quotation, and this gent proved useful.
A lovely walk around and a chat with another gent, Terry, originally from South London ("Sarf Lundun"), a retired builder who was out on his mobility scooter celebrating having just come out of 8 months of Lockdown into the UK's second Lockdown, following treatment for his third brush with cancer. He declined when I asked to take his photograph next to the photograph displayed on the promenade that we were discussing initially.
I confess my POTD was shot surreptitiously along with all others today.
"Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose." Garrison Keillor.
I've been waiting a long time to do something suitable with a photo of this wonderful cat that I encountered in a small harbour in Elba - now everything has come together, and I've done it.
Many thanks to my good contact Rosina for the links to the quotations, and also to Sabinche for perhaps unknowingly making me aware of the existence of poladroids.
My pocket filofax contains lots of quotations. I started to copy it out again in case I should lose it. But I don't work hard enough at it.
讓您久等了！令人在意的QUOTATION No.3已於4月27日正式発売。此次除了改換表紙配色及封面用紙外，另外在設計上也做了部份調整，唯一不變的是精彩如常的特集，包括「追蹤活躍於流行界的美術指導」紐約Li. Inc、哥本哈根Homework團隊工作現場直擊，以及「前衛設計／芸術代理店」倫敦Big Active、東京magical.ARTROOM第一手專訪報導。同時QUOTATION也特別跨海邀請紐約獨立刊物NEW WORK，與日本潮牌nano・universe共同舉辦雑誌＋T恤的創意特展。這一類的操作手法雖非破天荒，但對於我這種重度雑誌迷來說，光是NEW WORK＋QUOTATION的超強組合就夠讓人招架不住了，現心裡只盤算著怎能弄到一件限定雑T！
Michel Houellebecq :
La société érotique-publicitaire où nous vivons s'attache à organiser le désir, à développer le désir dans des proportions inouïes, tout en maintenant la satisfaction dans le domaine de la sphère privée. Pour que la société fonctionne, pour que la compétition continue, il faut que le désir croisse, s'étende et dévore la vie des hommes
The erotic-publicity minded society in which we live endeavours to organise and develop desire to unprecedented levels, while maintaining satisfaction within the sphere of private life. So that society may function and competition persist, desire must increase, spread out and devour the lives of men
La società erotico-pubblicitaria in cui viviamo si adopera a organizzare il desiderio, a sviluppare il desiderio in proporzioni inaudite, mantenendo la soddisfazione nella sfera della vita privata. Perché la società funzioni, perché la competizione continui, bisogna che il desiderio cresca, si estenda e divori la vita degli uomini
La sociedad erótico-publicitaria en la que vivimos se afana en organizar el deseo, en desarrollar el deseo hasta proporciones inauditas, mientras mantiene la satisfacción en la esfera privada. Para que la sociedad funcione, para que la competición continúe, es necesario que el deseo crezca, se extienda y devore la vida de los hombres
Die erotisch öffentlich eingestellte Gesellschaft in der wir leben befasst sich damit, das Verlangen zu organisieren und zu unerreichter Größe zu steigern und hält dabei die Befriedigung immer im privaten Bereich. Damit diese Gesellschaft funktioniert und der Wettbewerb weiter bestehen kann, muss das Verlangen wachsen, sich ausbreiten und das Leben der Menschen verschlingen
A sociedade erótico-publicitária em que vivemos desdobra-se para organizar o desejo, para desenvolver o desejo de modo exagerado, mantendo a satisfação na esfera privada. Para que a sociedade funcione, para que a competição continue, é preciso fazer com que o desejo aumente, até que devore a vida dos homens
引頸期盼已久的「QUOTATION No.4」 終將於7月27日正式発売，這回表紙配色為低彩度的粉紅系，在店架平台上相當醒目突出。據說從下一期起封面設計又會展現全新面貌，維持每兩期變換一次風格的策略，可說是十分懂得掌握讀者的嘗鮮心理。像我這種創意麻瓜，假如沒有定期補充「QUOTATION」這劑營養針的話，後果簡直不堪設想。比方這一期便介紹了活躍於海外的10位日本各領域創作者，其中至少有八成以上都是一些我從未聽聞的新銳，包括Junko Shimizu、Kenta Torimoto、Noriko Okaku、Sayaka Yamamoto、Yu Yamaguchi等人…而另外國際最前線單元，柏林特別報導的最夯創意據點及話題人物更是熱得發燙，不由得暗暗佩服蜂賀亨情報採集的一流功力。本期最後還專訪了主事操刀「PIN-UP」、「SUPERSUPER」兩本文化刊物視覺的芸術總監；真的不是我偏心愛敲邊鼓，而是QUOTATION實在太精彩。
Honestly, there's no genuine truth, because what you might think as realism is just an illusion - we might now write a song about it...
After selecting the quotation by Tagore, these words came to me:
when our steps are suddenly broken
and our climb is thus impaired
may we embrace this time
to travel within
to pause, reflect and begin
a g a i n . . .
“Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
in the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action....
into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.”
~ Rabindranath Tagore ~
